Settled on the edge of a sleepy village, in a tranquil and natural setting amidst beautiful forests, lush fields and green hills, this pretty villa couldn't be better designed and located for a vacation that combines lazy days of dolce far niente with sightseeing tours in one of the most beautiful areas of Istria. The modern design is chic and minimalist, cleverly combining indoor and outdoor spaces. At the center of the building is a tastefully decorated and spacious room, divided into intimate living, cooking and dining areas, while the two cozy bedrooms, each with a flat-screen TV and modern en-suite bathroom, add to the intimate, relaxed atmosphere. The outdoor pool is particularly inviting in the summer heat, with comfortable sun loungers where you can unwind with a good read and an ice-cold drink. The fully enclosed garden also offers a lovely covered summer dining area with built-in barbecue, perfectly positioned for long, relaxing evenings while enjoying the pleasant forest breeze.
